I think Phil McGraw is a wonderful human being.
Phil McGraw is philosophical just like how I am.
The person who had mentored Phil McGraw into having his own talk show, Oprah Winfrey; is also philosophical just like how I am.
Like Ray and my friend Dennis, Phil McGraw had gone through a series of marriages. Phil McGraw’s wife Robin is his 2nd wife. Phil McGraw also had a drug and alcohol addiction before he had become a reformed addict, and his reformation is what had prompted him to want to become a psychologist just like his father, Joe.
From the late 1970’s up until 1990, Phil McGraw had worked as a psychologist in a Private Practice until he had entered into an entirely new business venture lawyer Gary Dobbs in co-founding Courtroom Sciences, Inc.; a trial consulting firm.
Phil McGraw’s practice had pretty much specialized in drug and alcohol issues and marital issues, and rarely things in the realm of Autism, Asperger’s; and Cognitive Impairments.
Also, Phil McGraw had co-founded his practice with his father Joe in Wichita Falls, Texas.
After Phil McGraw had co-founded Courtroom Sciences, Inc.; he had left the practice of psychology entirely, although he had renewed his psychology medical license each year for the next 16 years until he had retired it in 2006.
In 2002, the the California Board of Psychology determined in 2002 that he did not require a license because his show involves “entertainment” rather than psychology.
It was through Courtroom Sciences, Inc. that Phil McGraw had first met Oprah Winfrey. Oprah Winfrey had hired Courtroom Sciences, Inc. to prepare her for the Amarillo Texas beef trial. Oprah Winfrey was so impressed with Phil McGraw that she thanked him for her victory in that case, which ended had in 1998. Shortly thereafter, Oprah Winfrey had invited Phil McGraw to appear on her show. His appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show had proved so successful that he began appearing weekly as a relationship and life strategy expert on Tuesdays starting in April, 1998.
